William P. Frye, senator from
Maine, declared three years ago that
the Republican party must become a
Prohibition party or perish. And if
by that Mr.. Frye meant that the
whole moral power Of the Republican
party must be used to restrict within
the narrowest possible limits, the use
of alcoholic spirits, with the view to
the utter anihilation of the traffic at
the earliest possible moment, as
doubtless he did, Mr.. Frye was right,
and the Republican party in its next
National convention should place the
party nationally on precisely that
platform. The war upon the liquor
traffic, and the enforcement Of the
Sunday laws, enabled the Republicans
to save the New York Legislature,
and to secure almos: unprecedented
victories in Massachusetts,, Ohio and
Iowa and Nebraska, to say nothing of
the revolution in New Jersey, in the
late elections. The hour for bold
utterance in opposition to the liquor
traffic as a National curse has come,
and the Republicans must not fail TO
act.
